Sets
Set = a collection of objects Set = days of week, factors of 12, states of US…
⊂, ∪, ∩, n( )
{….}
U, ∉, { } or ∅,
∪ Union Eg 1 pg 128
Ex 6A pg 129 Q3,4,5
∩ Intersect
Eg 2 pg 129
Complement
Ex 6B pg 129 Q1,3,4
A’ = members not in A = not A
(A ∪ B)’ = A’ ∩ B’

Set builder notation Eg {x ∣ x∈N, x<10}
{ variable | rule }
"the set of all x, such that x is an element of the
{ the set of natural numbers and x is less than 10"
X All x
| such that { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 }
Disjoint sets = have no element in common

Set with n elements has 2n subsets A={p,q,r,s} has 24 = 16 subsets
Equal A=B
Equivalent n(A) = n(B)

Set build Examples
1. Write each given set in the Set-Builder Form:
(i) {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}
(ii) {2, 3, 5, 7, 11}
(iii) {January, June, July}
(iv) {a, e, i, o, u}
(v) {Tuesday, Thursday}
(vi) {1, 4, 9, 16, 25}
(vii) {5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30}
2. Write the following sets in Set-Builder Form or Rule form:
(i) A = {1, 3 5, 7, 9}
(ii) B = {16, 25, 36, 49, 64}
(iii) C = {a, e, i, o, u}
(iv) D = {violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red}
(v) E = {January, March, May, July, August, October, December}
Answers for the worksheet on sets in Set-builder form are given below to check the
exact answers of the above questions on sets in Set-builder form or Rule form.
Answers:
1.
(i) {x : x is an even natural numbers less than 12}
(ii) {x : x is a prime numbers less than 12}
(iii) {x : x is a month whose name starts with letter J}
(iv) { x : x is a vowel in English alphabets}
(v) {x : x is a day of the week whose name starts with letter T}
(vi) {x : x is a perfect square natural number upto 25}
(vii) {x : x is a natural number upto 30 and divisible by 5}
2.
(i) A = {x | x is an odd number less than 10}.
(ii) B = {x | x is a perfect square natural number between 15 and 65}
(iii) C = {x | x is a vowel in English small alphabet}.
(iv) D = {x | x is a color in rainbow}.
(v) E = {x | x is a month having 31 days}.
